Post of our trip to Skagway on our Alaska Trip

I am going to show more pictures then type.

 Cyndy did a great job on this picture with the reflection  of the mountain in the lake.

 From this distance the rig looks pretty clean.

 Our two co-pilot's watching over us as we are heading down into Skagway,

 We are getting close to Carcross and the 11 miles down grade of 11% into Skagway.

 Here we are heading over to Juneau by way of water.  

 It was a little cloudy and some rain wich made it hard seeing all of the Glaciers

 We took a bus out to Mendhall Glacier near Juneau.

 One of these days I am going to walk over to these falls, but we only have an hour here and my little legs don 't walk that fast.

 On our way back to Skagway we did see a few humpbacks.

 We got to see a little tail on this one.

 But this one really showed off its tail.

 That was great.

 We found some seals!!!!

We had a great time in Skagway and our day to Juneau did turn out a little sunny.  Tomorrow I will post some pictures on our trip to Stewart/Hyder for bear watching.

August 16th

We are back in Spanaway, Washington.  Sorry for not posting much the last month but being the Wagon Master and internet SUCKED in Canada.  We made it back here late Friday night after saying our good-byes Friday morning.  The drive back was OK, we have done it 4 times in the pass.
Saturday we didn't do much but just relaxed and play with the grand kids.  It was nice to see our son and his wife along with his two girls.  They are growing so fast, MJ starts Kindergarten this year. We had a great day.  Sunday was a day to finish up all of the paperwork so that we can mail everything off tomorrow.  We have doctor appointments starting tomorrow so that is about it for now.  Will try and get some of the last pictures out on the web tomorrow.

July 31st Alaska day 45

What a great day we had, we left this morning at 10:00 AM for a great Prince William Sound plus Meares Glacier, Whale & Wildlife Boat Ctuise.  I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoyed the sights.

 This is in Prince Williams Sound that the end of the pipe line is loacated at.

Some great hanging Glaciers.

 We found a raft of Sea Otters.

Great Waterfalls.

Our National Bird and they were every where.

 This is all the closer we could get to the Columbia Glacier

These are a few of the caves floating by us.

Harbor Seals resting on the ice, we seen a lot of them as we were getting closer to the Mearies Glacier.  THe skipper said that they like this area because the Killer Whales stay out of this are because of all the ice chunks.

 We got to see a lot of caving of the glaciers today and this is the area that most of it happened.  This is the before and after shots.

And this is what happened in between everything.

This was just amazing what we seen, I took over 200 pictures and these are just a few of them, hope you enjoyed them as much as we did.

Getting some rest before the next big fish!!!!

 We got to see a few hundred Stellar Seals also.

We even seen these Killer Whales, we felt very lucky today.  On to Skagway with a stop in Tok and then Destruction Bay, YT.  More fun to come.
